As the UN s development agency, UNDP plays a critical role in helping countries to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). UNDP s global policy network and communities of practice bring a wealth of development policy insights to each country where we serve, while helping to share those countries experiences with the world.
• In Thailand, UNDP partners with national and local institutions, civil society, academia, and the private sector to advance the SDGs, combining local, regional, and global solutions and expertise to help Thailand respond to complex challenges in an agile and inclusive way. Among them are strengthening institutions, promoting inclusive and sustainable development, tackling climate action, and conserving biodiversity.
• UNDP launched the Biodiversity Finance Initiative (BIOFIN) in October 2012 as a global partnership aimed at addressing the biodiversity finance challenge comprehensively. This initiative seeks to build a robust business case for increased investment in the ecosystems and biodiversity management, with a particular emphasis on national needs and transformational opportunities. The Global BIOFIN Programme supports 133 countries to design and implement the Biodiversity Finance Plan (BFP).
